The Carrot Cake Squares

by Anda Mtshemla

Making vegan desserts can be tough since eggs and dairy are usually the centres of most beloved sweet treats. However, from chia seeds and light oils to apple sauce, you’ll find that nature has provided a number of binders for us to use.

In this recipe for a moist, rich carrot cake, I’ve kept it simple and used ingredients that are within arms reach and it’s so easy, you won’t be able to wait to try it!

PREP TIME: Overnight/20mins COOK TIME: 25-30mins MAKES: 10-12 squares

You will need:

2 large carrots

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 tablespoon of nutmeg

2 tablespoons of cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1 cup soya milk

1/2 cup canola oil/

For cream cheese frosting:

NOTE: This recipe requires you to chill 1 can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. Make sure your coconut milk is full fat and made with the fewest ingredients possible. This will ensure that the coconut milk separates and hardens as the recipe requires.
